	Castile-La Mancha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Castile-La Mancha is bordered by Castile and León, Madrid, Aragon, Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia, and Extremadura.
		Castile-La Mancha was formerly grouped with the province of Madrid into New Castile ("Castilla la Nueva"), but with the advent of the modern Spanish system of semi-autonomous regions (las autonomías), it was separated due to great economic disparity between the capital and the remaining New-Castilian provinces.
		Castile-La Mancha is composed of the provinces of Toledo, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara, and Albacete.

	New Castile
		The concept behind the name Castile-La Mancha is not immediately clear, for a reason: it is a mixture of historical, geographical and political ideas: Castile is historical, La Mancha geographical and Castile-La Mancha political.
		Castile-La Mancha's provinces are Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo; New Castile covers roughly the same territory plus most of the province of Madrid, nowadays a separate political region.
		Much of it is occupied by the (geographical) region of La Mancha, a vast plain, so flat and sweeping that naturalists refer to this type of terrain as "pseudosteppes," though punctuated by the odd not-very-high mountain range.
